A relaxed and laid-back town, Hassan is the headquarters of the same-named district and is one of the all-time favourite spots in the state of Karnataka. Named after the town's presiding Goddess "Hasanamba", Karnataka's fourth largest city is mainly a farmer and trader town. Hassan is a pleasant place to explore for a day or two on foot and forms a perfect base for exploring the world-famous site of Halebid (33km), Belur (38km) and Sravanabelagola (48km).
Hassan is best known for its Hasanamba Temple, but there's also Siddeshvara Temple, built by Venkatappa Nayaka, one of the Nayaka rulers.
